It wasn't over priced or anything, the same as the rest of the shirts, so it didn't really matter.

Thanks.

You'd think there would be one closer to the city..

I've just remembered there's one in Ashington too. It's on a Sunday, but I've never been so can't say for certain what time it starts

Jumble sale was a disapointment, turned out to be a barn sale but lots of rubish but no clothes , only picked up a couple salt and pepper pots, got home and checked them on e-bay and they are worth 10.00 so that will cover my petrol money.

Our bootsales are cancelled tomorrow due to rain forecast and I bought nothing in our charity shops today either roll on next weekend

At the tip today... I rescued a Blenfield Toys Wiggle and Jiggle teddy bear (grandson is 9 months old, and a great giggler!) like this one:

- perfect condition, clean and not much used - so he's had another clean, his jumper washed and a fresh set of batteries - what a fab excuse to drop in on them sometime over the weekend and give it to him. All for a princely 50p

Not alot at the local boot fair today managed to pick up a cute teddy bear book for the nephew and a lovely granite habitat tea light holder for 50p each so wasnt a wasted journey!
Until next week..................

Just out of interest, How do you approach the guys at the tip when you want to buy something? When I go, I often see some really nice stuff people throw out but am concerned about asking the guys how much they want for it?
